Insufficient permissions in configuration for importing IIS application pool

0 votes

I'm failing to export application pools from server to another newly created server.

These are the steps I'm Following

Step 1: Export on server1

D:>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list apppool /config /xml > d:\apppools.xml

Step2: Deleting duplicate apppools from xml file

Removed tags for defaultAppPool, .NetVxx appPools.

Step3: Importing on Server2

  • copied the apppools.xml file on server2
  • %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /in < D:\ServerFeature\apppools.xml

And this shows up

D:\ServerFeature>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /in < D:\ServerFea ture\apppools.xml ERROR ( message:Configuration error Filename: redirection.config Line Number: 0 Description: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions . )

What am I doing wrong??

Seems like a read-write permission issue. Check and enable the read write permissions for this file:

%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\config\redirection.config
